A/n: Hey there fans~ I found an old flash drive from before my hardrive crashed two years ago and this/these was/were on it (there might possibly be more) so I felt like sharing [: I don't know if I'll write more or not to each chapter (they may be drabblish, they may not). I mean I'm certainly capable of writing more but this was me spewing out ideas back in '09 and/or earlier. The title for this one's because welllll (I started lolling when I found it again)… I described it to a friend as Axel's a pedo… and she thought I said Axel's Speedo xD;; so yeah. Here you go.

Rated M obviously for possibilities.

Axel's Speedo

xXx

Axel Kudou let out a long dejected sigh as his gaze shifted to the window closest to him. He ran a hand through his fiery hair. Boredom had set in already and he really wished that he was elsewhere.

It wasn't that he didn't like where he was, no. It was just that every day, he came, saw the same people, worked on the same paper work, and maybe sold a few cars if he was lucky. He did like being in charge of a car dealership but sometimes he couldn't help but find it to be so…

(Monotonous…)

Unappealing… Really, when he'd inherited his father's business, he'd thought that it would be great. He'd be his own boss, as well as be able to do as he wished.

Axel was only twenty-three and really didn't have anything that he should be complaining about. He was successful, well established, damn sexy, girls loved him, and could do as he pleased. So, he should be happy.

But he wasn't happy and he did complain- often in fact. Because really? The red head couldn't help but be bored. He wanted excitement, he wanted adventure, but he didn't want a girlfriend. He never had found girls to be all that appealing. He wanted something new- and he was afraid it'd never happen.

That is… until he saw him for the first time.

xXx

It was a day, just like any other. The red head had been working on paper work in his office, getting ready for a sale, and had stacked up what he'd finished on a separate pile then casually glanced out of his office. He found himself watching, curious, as a boy who had to be somewhere between the ages of ten and twelve talk to a group of his employees in a persuasive manner. He raised an eyebrow when he saw them giving him money.

It wasn't that Axel disapproved of the kid trying to sell things- he just had a policy in place that kept people from selling other things while on the premises. So, the red head got up and made his way to the group.

His employees stiffened slightly when they saw him approach and stop behind the blonde haired boy. Said boy noticed that the others' attention was no longer on him, but rather behind him. So he turned, looking slightly surprised to see the red head. Axel was surprised as well and as his eyes locked with the boy's, he couldn't help but think that he was…

(Cute, really cute…)

Quite intriguing… What with his pristinely spiked blonde hair and beautiful ocean blue eyes, a slight look of curiosity painted across his face.

Nonetheless, he'd come over for a reason, and in a firm but gentle voice, he said it. "I'm sorry, but there is a rule against people selling merchandise at my establishment." The boy smiled at him and Axel's heart nearly skipped a beat.

"Oh I'm not selling anything, just asking for donations," he explained. Axel blinked, surprised that he'd been able to get so many of his employees to comply.

"May I ask what for?" he asked.

"The Wish Foundation," the blonde replied with ease. He looked to the side. "My cousin, Demyx… he's really sick and the doctors say that he's not going to make it. So I… I wanted to raise money so that he could have his final wish. I didn't think that it'd be a big deal since my mom works here."

Axel glanced at the small crowd that had been around the blonde earlier warningly and they quickly scattered, going back to where they were supposed to be.

"Who's your mom?" he asked.

"Tifa Strife," the blonde replied. Axel thought of the woman, knowing her right away. She had black hair and brown eyes. She often stayed late, over working herself, sometimes staying until the early hours of the morning. He'd often wondered why she worked so hard, she always looked so exhausted… so… "She has to work hard to support me," the blonde continued, interrupting Axel's thoughts.

"What about your dad? Doesn't he help?" Axel asked, immediately wondering if he'd asked something too personal. The blonde was silent for a long moment.

"I never knew him," he said finally.

Axel apologized softly. "Look," he said after a moment, "I respect that you're trying to raise money, but you really can't do it here. You're distracting my employees." The blonde nodded, turning to leave. That is, he was, until the red head gripped his wrist, turning him back around.

"Don't stop trying though," the red head continued, slipping a one hundred dollar bill into the blonde's hand. "It's for a great cause," he whispered. The blonde's eyes widened considerably as he stared into the red head's own vivid green. Axel smiled slightly, ruffling his hair. "See ya, kiddo," he murmured just before slipping away.

The red head went to his office, closing the door behind him and sitting behind his desk. He was still thinking about the kid even as he resumed his work. He closed his eyes and immediately saw him. Gorgeous blue eyes, beautiful honey hair… and a smile that nearly made his heart want to stop. He hadn't felt this way in quite a long time it was almost as if he was…

Axel's eyes shot open. Nonononono no way in hell no fucking way was he in love with a kid he'd just seen for the first time. A kid. The blonde had to be at least ten! That was an eleven year difference! …shit.

The red head gripped his hair, elbows resting on his desk as he silently brooded over the matter. He was so busy trying to convince himself that he wasn't a fucking pedophile despite having feelings for a kid whose name he didn't even know, that he nearly missed the small knock that came from his door. The red head took a deep breath to calm down.

"Come in," he said quietly, mouth suddenly dry. His eyes widened slightly when he saw who it was.

The very blonde he'd just been thinking about stood in the doorway, blonde hair slightly askew because the red had had ruffled it, yet still spiked as it had been moments earlier, and brilliant sapphire eyes. Axel swallowed when they met with his emerald.

"Uhm," the blonde said, glancing away, "My mom's busy working and there's nothing to do, so I was wondering if it'd be okay if I stayed in here with you."

Axel felt his heart rate begin to quicken as he watched the boy standing in the doorframe. He was so… innocent, so perfect… so pure… just like an angel… "Alright," he said smoothly, barely realizing that he'd said anything until the blonde came into the room. Axel cursed himself as the door shut behind him.

The blonde sat in a chair next to the red head's desk, facing him. "What's your name," he suddenly asked. Axel blinked in surprise.

"I'm surprised your mom didn't tell you," he said. The blonde shrugged.

"She's always busy," he said, looking down and kicking at the floor.

"It's Axel," The red head said, making the blonde look up.

"A-x-e-l?" he asked. The red head smirked, relaxing a bit.

"Yeah," he said, "got it memorized?" The blonde smiled.

"Yeah; I like it." The red head shrugged.

"What's your name, kid?" Axel asked.

"Hey, I'm not a kid! I'm going to be thirteen in two months!" the blonde said defensively, pouting childishly.

Axel laughed lightly. "Until you turn eighteen, yes, you're a kid, so I've every right to call you one."

And hopefully remind himself of the fact…

The blonde frowned, looking down at the floor and not answering for a few minutes. "It's Roxas," he said sullenly, arms crossed. Axel glanced at the blonde, loving his adorable pout.

"Sorry if calling you a kid upsets you. You actually seem really mature," the red head said after a moment. Roxas shrugged.

"It's okay. I guess it's true."

Silence ensued as the red head resumed his work. He finished filling out a few documents then happened to glance up, catching Roxas staring at him. "What?" he asked feeling slightly self-conscious.

"When'd you get those tattoos on your face?" the blonde asked.

Axel looked back down at his work. "A long time ago. Some ideas seem better than they really are when you're drunk." He saw Roxas nod out of the corner of his eye. "Don't try it for a long time."

Roxas nodded. "Okay… but I like them." Axel smiled slightly.

"I'm glad… My parents were furious. Your mom probably would be too." Roxas nodded slowly.

"Yeah…"

"So, Roxas, what do you usually do all day?" Axel asked to keep the conversation going as he continued to work.

"Well… I go to school, then usually go to a park until it gets dark, then come here." Axel stopped writing mid-word.

"I've never seen you in here before, and I know that your mom works till two in the morning sometimes. Where do you sleep?" he asked, mildly concerned.

"In the cars," Roxas said like it was no big deal. Axel immediately stood, going toward the door, making the blond panic. He gripped the red-head's hand just as he was about to open the door. "Please Axel, it's no big deal, I don't mind, and mom can't afford to have anybody watch me! I didn't get her into trouble did I? D-did I?"

Axel looked down into that worry-filled face, feeling guilty. "I really can't have you sleeping in the cars, Roxas-"

"Then I won't sleep!" the blond interrupted. Axel smiled slightly.

"You have to sleep, Roxas."

"Please… she's not in trouble is she?" Roxas asked, panic rising. Axel shook his head.

"No, but we need to go see her, okay?" Roxas nodded hesitantly.

"Okay."

xXx

The red-head and the blond made their way toward Tifa's office, Roxas trailing behind Axel, still afraid. Axel didn't stop until he reached the door to Roxas' mother's office and knocked.

Tifa turned, seeing Axel. She was obviously sleep deprived, having dark circles under his eyes, but still gave him a smile, telling him to come in. It vanished when Roxas followed him in.

"Cute kid you have, Tifa," Axel said. "I hear he spends quite a bit of time here." Tifa's eyes widened.

"A-am I f-fired?" She asked, shaking. Axel shook his head when he saw Roxas pale.

"No, but I really can't have him sleeping in the display cars," he replied.

"I-I'm sorry. I'll try to figure something out and have someone watch him. I j-just need a bit of time."

Axel shook his head, making her stop. "You really shouldn't spend extra money if you can't afford to." He continued when Tifa was silent for a long moment. "Look, I know you have it rough, so I want to offer to help you."

Tifa looked at Axel confusedly. "What do you mean?

"Well, Roxas seems like a really good kid, and I have a lot of extra room at my place- so if it's okay with you, he could stay with me when you're working over-time." Roxas blinked, looking up at the red-head.

"Axel… I could never impose on you like that… I work over-time so much…" she replied.

"It's not imposing- I'm offering."

Tifa smiled gratefully. "Okay. Thank you so much, Axel. It's alright with me if it's alright with Roxas." She said. Tifa turned to Roxas, smiling. "Roxas baby, do you mind going with Axel rather than staying here?" she asked. Roxas was still watching Axel.

Sapphire bore into emerald and Axel's heart nearly stopped. "No, I don't mind, mom," he replied after a few moments.

Tifa thanked Axel again just before the two made their way back to the red-head's office.
